Congratulations to all who have been elected and reelected to National Council. It is also important to offer a huge generous amount of applause and thanks to those who agreed to run for these important offices but did not get elected. I would hope that those not elected be asked to serve on national committees as folks retire off and new members are needed. They are certainly talented and obviously willing to give of their time and talent!
